This road car has been used first as a "Press car" by Ford UK . It was seen in the magazine Motoring news of Dec. 1966. originally in Gold it stayed that way until the early 80s. Resprayed for a while in Gulf color it returned soon to an almost identical gold. 1051 was raced in historical events now equipped with Hallibrand wheels instead of its original Borrani wire wheels. In 1993, after a crash, 1051 was rebuilt by Racing Icons to full Gulf specifications, using some parts from 1008 which went to be restored to its 1965 specs. The only difference being painted in the original Gulf dark blue instead of the iconic light one. The car can be seen regularly in vintage car races.
